Text of the page (random words):
ich is the mosaic law the law consists of hundreds of laws which are full of various rituals and are accepted as legalistic tradition the pharisees and the scribes demanded the jews to obey the laws while the pharisees and the scribes themselves didn t do it we can find it in matthew 23 4 luke 11 46 and acts 15 10 thus in this context jesus invites people who are weary and burdened by religious laws and rituals that provide no peace as a substitute for that heavy yoke jesus christ offers his yoke which is easy to bear and his burden which is light that is the first and greatest commandment love the lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind this is the first and greatest commandment and the second is like it love your neighbor as yourself all the law and the prophets hang on these two commandments matthew 22 37 40 the lord jesus not only puts the yoke on our shoulders but it s his own yoke which means he carry it together with us that s why the yoke becomes easy and the burden becomes light now the same invitation is also addressed to us the lord jesus promises to give us rest but we must be willing to bear his yoke in other words we must live in his first and greatest commandment that is love god and love neighbor as written in matthew 22 37 40 why because if we do god s word only as laws that must be obeyed then we will be tired of the various rules don t do this you have to do that and if you don t do it you will receive the consequences we will lose our joy in practicing god s word conversely if we do everything out of love then obedience will not be heavy because love will lighten all burdens 1 john 5 3 there is no power greater than love especially god s love if we are full of god s love then we will be able to love god and others love makes us treat other people in different ways love makes us live our life in a new way which is from god s perspective we become stronger and calmer in facing struggles because it becomes easier for us to trust god for that we must continue to walk with jesus and learn from him to be his disciples being a disciple of jesus means being willing to be disciplined willing to continue to be taught and trained so that we become like him a person who is gentle and humble in heart for i am gentle and humble in heart many people have the concept of gentle and humble that only emphasizes action people who speak softly and not show anger will be considered as a gentle person and people who deny their greatness in front of others are considered as humble in fact it could be that a person who seems gentle and humble is actually rebelling in his heart or is deliberately controlling himself because he wants to be praised and considered good by others the biblical concept of gentle meekness and humble lowliness is not like that in the greek text the word praus meek and tapeinos low are followed by the word tē kardia in the heart so meekness and lowliness are attitudes that come from the heart not only measured by visible actions biblical meekness is not weakness but rather refers to exercising god s strength under his control i e demonstrating power without undue harshness lowliness describing the person who depends on the lord rather than self let s learn from jesus and become like him jesus has authority and power but he always submits to the father and does everything according to the father s will jesus also showed his boldness and anger when he overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves in the temple but he is also full of mercy on those who are weak and doesn t reject those who are despicable jesus always full of love and forgiveness towards sinners including those who tortured and crucified him if we build a relationship and learn from jesus who is gentle and humble in heart then we will get rest for our souls because we know that we are fully accepted and loved and if we have meekness and lowliness we will be calmer and peace in living this life gentleness and lowliness will be reflected in the attitude in living everyday life a gentle person will give himself to be controlled by god not by ego and emotions he can be assertive even angry but in the right and necessary portions a humble person will submit to god and rely on god not boasting about himself and not looking down on others because he knows that everything in him comes from god if we continue to develop gentleness and lowliness we will be more able to understand and accept others more forgiving less hardened when we are reprimanded and not ashamed to admit mistakes we will become easier to control and lead by the holy spirit and we know that we really need the guidance of the holy spirit in all things especially in tough situations like these days god s people who are weary and burdened let us accept the invitation from jesus come to jesus take up his yoke and be his disciple for he is gentle and humble in heart his yoke is easy and his burden is light not because being a disciple of jesus is without process and carelessly but because of jesus himself bore the yoke with us his love enables us to do his commandments with joy come accept his invitation and his promise for only in him do we find peace and rest for our souls in the midst of whatever we are going through amen by sella irene

commandment the law torah weary and heavy laden yoke dwells in the shelter of the lord apr 4 hello my beloved readers i m grateful to god during this very difficult time i could get a quite time to write a short post i also thanks to god in this global pandemic situation i and my family are in good condition i hope and pray all of you also in good condition too i was inspired to write this post because some time ago when paris lockdown in order to prevent and reduce the spread of corona virus my neighbor called me and said that he would stop his children from going out of the bedroom all children s activities must be done in the bedroom and must use protective gloves and masks he also urged me to do the same thing to my son well doesn t mean i m not afraid and underestimate this harmful corona virus i really know covid 19 is very dangerous everyone can be infected no matter who they are not only that this pandemic also gives very bad impact to some sectors for example in the business world the business world as if totally down due to the spread of this virus but i think what my neighbor did to her children is exaggerated looking down children in their bedroom wasn t a good idea and will give bad impact to the children to be honest during this pandemic my family didn t apply very specific things at home beside obeying the advice to keep clean go out of house for important purposes only do the social distancing and some other advices we hold one of god s promise that written in the verses of psalm 91 let s take a look together a thousand may fall at your side

deliver us from the deadly pestilence therefore we shall not be afraid not from the deadly viruses not from the terror not from the evil plots and slanders of the wicked not from anything in the bad and difficult situation right now we really need to holdfast this promises at the time god s promises was written i m pretty sure there wasn t technology that can destroy thousands or even tens of

for us to be able accept god s promises in that verses the beginning verses of the psalm are conditions that must be fulfilled in order can receive god s promises let s take a look whoever dwells in

must be lived with responsibility making good planning is part of carrying out that responsibility if so why did james rebuke christians who make plans now listen you who say today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city spend a year there carry on business and make money james 4 13 the letter of james was addressed to jews who have become christians and live outside the land of israel some of them work as traders who usually go from one city to another and live there for some time to do business these cities might have been antioch damascus or alexandria which at the time were large cities

them verse 14 tells us why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow what is your life you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes james told about two facts of humans namely humans don t know what will happen tomorrow and describe human life like mist mist expresses uncertainty mortal futile brief momentary mist fog smoke or whatever they are called only appear for a

while my mother was pushed on a hospital bed through another door then we knocked on the door that was intended and was met by a cardiologist for about 10 minutes the doctor explained to us about my mother s condition after that the doctor asked us to get out of the room then after that the door was closed i don t have the chance to see my mom again and i don t have the chance to say anything to each other we were really surprised and could hardly believe that the situation was changing so fast i remember this afternoon my mother walked around in the mall cheerful and looked healthy but this night she lay in pain and weak at iccu for several weeks since that night all our plans were in disarray because we had to stay in hospital all day all our service schedules in the church must be canceled a lot of work must be postponed and the rhythm of our lives totally changed a few days later we were told by the cardiologist that that night they were racing against time the doctor said
